“REIFY transforms sound into something we can see, sculpt and hold”

The designer crew from REIFY managed to create computer software which allows you to print any kind of sound in 3D. Your favourite tune can be transformed into a physical sculpture, and a simple application on your smartphone then makes it possible to listen to the piece of artwork you’ve made. The result is a stunning sculptural creation that looks like a mix between crystals, plexiglas and corals.

In other words: four New Yorkers have found a way to fixate a song in time and to not make it disappear. A wonderful idea which comfortably touches the fields of contemporary art and technology.
